How to Make a Perfect Origami Flower

A pretty Origami flower are usually made from five or six square folded sheets of paper. By combining let’s say ten single Origami flowers into one you will even get a beautiful Origami flower ball.

In this how to, we will show all basic steps to fold an outstanding and perfect Origami flower

By the way, this Origami folding is only half as difficult as it looks like. The folding is therefore also perfect to do together with children.

Ready ? Let’s get started !

Five sheets of square paper ( at best colored ) as well as glue ( we prefer white glue over a glue stick )

Step 1

Take a square piece of paper and fold it in half diagonally.The result should be a triangle as shown above.

Step 2

Fold the bottom two corners to the upper corner. The result will be a square sheet.

Step 3

Now fold the two previous folds backwards but only about “halfway”Make sure that the back-folded back edges are lining up with the edges of the square below.

Step 4

Unfold the triangles from the previous step.
Just as shown in the picture above, go and lift each side of the triangle. Now use your finger to open the pocket inside by re flatten along the crease. Each pocket should now have the form of a diamond.

Step 5

Turn the paper over.

Step 6

Fold in the triangular corner on the left side.
When you open the left side of the folded paper slightly, you’ll see that under the top sheet of paper, there is a fold, which comprises half the diamonds below. Simply fold under the top of the diamond in the body of the shape of space Paper, which is covered half.

Step 7

Do the same as seen on Step 6 with the right side.

Step 8

Please turn the paper over.

Step 9

Fold left and right corners inward along the folds, which already exist.The outline should be obtained again a square.

Step 10

Glue the top flaps folded in the locations shown in the image.
A glue stick might be a good idea. However I prefer white glue because this kind of glue is not drying that fast !

Step 11

Press the flaps togetherGo and tightly press the crease so that the inner folds will move into the center of the pocket.
Now fix it with one or two paper clips.

Step 12

Repeat Steps 1 to 11 to get four more.

Step 13

Paste glue on the seam of each piece.
Make sure to apply enough glue just the same way as shown in the picture above.

Step 14

Now we start with the assembling by pressing all five pieces together.

Step 15

By adding all pieces together you should have the same result as shown above.

Step 16

Please use some paper clips to fix the petals./span>

…….and our beautiful Origami flower is finished !

Depending on the type of glue, please wait sometime until it’s completely dried before releasing the paper clips.

Wow, that’s a beautiful Origami Flower !

Hints :

Make sure your folds are sharp, precise and straight. It gives the finished Origami flower a clean appearance.

When adding even more pieces the Origami flower would look even more outstanding.

By assembling twelve Origami Flowers you can even achieve an traditionalKusudama Flower.
